The road construction sector is one of the most raw material-intensive sectors in existence. As a result, it has significant impact on environment. For this reason, there are several research projects which industrial by-products used as materials. In turn, energy production from biomass combustion considered to be promising sources. However, type produces number wastes that need treated, such ...

Sustainability assessment of municipal solid waste management requires a holistic approach in evaluating the impacts current technology and processes. In this study, sustainability analysis Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incineration plant Baltimore city was performed to determine its environmental, economic, social impacts. The city’s major waste-to-energy generation has benefitted since inceptio...

This study aimed to undertake an environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of a sewage treatment plant (STP) equipped with low-rate trickling filters (TFs) as post-treatment upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB). The STP is located in South Brazil and uses landfill agriculture sludge-disposal alternatives. evaluation was performed using the LCA technique SimaPro® 9 software. results revealed t...

The main environmental impact of olive oil production is the disposal residues such as pomace and water vegetation. During extraction process, stone milled discharged within pomace. However, flour can be valorized filler for polymeric composites. A life cycle assessment valorization was carried out by focusing on manufacturing process a biocomposite made two different thermoplastic matrices, i....

At the international level, increasing efforts have been made to assess burdens of transport by road and adopt effective mitigation strategies. In this study, life cycle analyses carried out compare environmental performances 100 m-long highway sections during 60 year-service life. According standard EN 15804, emissions abiotic depletions assessed for four different cross-sections (i.e., embank...

Long-period maintenance of software often causes the original program modularization to decay, resulting in a degraded quality software. Placement artifacts, namely code files or classes suboptimal manner among packages is one most common this decaying Software remodularization (remodularization) an old reverse engineering approach that helps alleviating issue by improving modularization. Howev...

Ordinary concrete is an indispensable construction material of modern society which used for everything from mundane road pavements to building structures. However, it often non-load-bearing applications (for instance, insulating lightweight units) where mechanical strength not a priority. This leads avoidable depletion natural aggregates could instead be replaced by alternative waste materials...

The circular economy will play an important role in the reduction of carbon emissions and poplar might be one winning choices according to sustainable development. As for agricultural crops, high-quality production is strictly related genetic variability best management practice. main objective this study was analyze different stand options quantify differences on emission environmental impacts...
